Who would be the better prospect of being selected #2 overall...................Malkin or Heatley or Spezza?????
trahans99 said:Right now I would have to say Heatley too, I think this guy will be the next superstar of the league, but Spezza should become one of the top play makers in the game and Malkin well I am not too sure of thats why I am asking. In the long run who will be the best player??

Spezza is a very good skater. When will the myth about poor skating go away?Legionnaire said:That's pretty much what I was thinking as well. Spezza-great player not the greatest of skaters though. Malking-great player.....but his concussion worries me.

Caniacforever said:Spezza skates ugly. That's not always the same as skating poorly, but it can offen be misconcieved that way due to the fact that it's not a very pretty style. Spezza's skating is serviceable and slightly above average. However, compared to other stars in the league his skating pales in comparison. It's ugly, but it usually gets the job done. The reason I say slightly above average is due to the fact that there are a lot more Marek Maliks' in the league than Mike Modanos'.
